I won't make it againt his year. With Roebling the week before, and Barber the week after, I will be spending some time at home.

TrackAddict 09-04-2007 07:20 AM

I am pretty much in teh same situation as L8. I'll watch it on TV between catching up on house chores etc.

gadzooks62 09-05-2007 11:18 AM

I'll be there.

SilverEIGHT 09-05-2007 11:33 AM

Dito with L8 and TA. Even though I'm 15 mi. from there, I gotta give a little time to the wife and home.

Also, every year it has grown exponentially and getting around has become a miserable task now. It's a journey to get from the turn 11 bridge back to turn 6. You used to be able to sit on the hill outside track between 9 & 10a but now it is totally inhabited by RVs and snobby turds that block off any walkers. It's just not as much fun anymore. I think watching it on TV will do fine this year.

TorqueAholic 09-10-2007 06:56 AM

Well, I'm NOT missing it. I have not missed one since it started and I'm not planning on starting this year. TA? House Chores? WTF? I'm gonna have to work on that.

Lego, my base camp will be overlooking 10a-b as usual.

dbright007 09-10-2007 09:47 AM

I am out. I might get to watch a wee bit on Fri, but doubt it.
RR the week before and Barber week after.
Gotta work the weekend in between.

My girlfriend And I will be there for sure! We have 4 day passes!
May watch the very beginning of the Le Mans though. Because on that Saturday, we have a wedding to attend later on in the day..ahhh well. Either way, we will have one HELL OF A GREAT TIME!:)

We just got tickets to the NCSU vs FSU game. Last two times we went, we beat FSU, so we have to go again, even though this season doesn't look too good. The game's is on the 6th, so I'm going to have to Tivo this now. Go Wolfpack!

Morgan 09-28-2007 01:02 PM

I'll be there all three days - and not in the crowds :) thrus/fri/sat. I'm not gonna lie-i'm pretty dang excited.

Marietta 8 09-28-2007 09:27 PM

I'll be there on Friday only for the World Challenge race. The rest I will watch from my couch at home.

NSG_20 10-02-2007 02:38 PM

This will be my first Petite...can't wait! I'll be there Friday / Saturday and will certainly be cheering for Ben Devlin to throw down some mega lap times in the Mazda LMP2.

Anyone else viewing from the Mulsanne Chalet?

Morgan 10-03-2007 06:09 AM

I'll be in the pitts the whole time...buuut just look for a little skinny 5'8 blonde girl walking around with a 6'5 kid who is a driver-that'll be me. lol

NSG_20 10-03-2007 08:06 AM

Very cool!! What car is he in?

Morgan 10-08-2007 10:15 AM

sorry I didn't get back to posting. My bf wasn't driving this race, we were just with taffle racing (the 2nd place gt cup car-71) It was a long end of the race for us as he battle between Dom(71) and Tom(18) went down. I was standing down at turns 10a and 10b watching and plotting how tom was going to spin out..and then he did for us to take 2nd! yay! :)

I LOVED the Audi P1 cars! They were truely awesome..although, the DHL on the porchse chasis handeled a lot better.

NSG_20 10-08-2007 02:00 PM

A fantastic race! Both battles at the end were just awesome! It was a shame that Milner spun on the last lap but he was certainly under heavy pressure from Farnbacher - getting that 2nd spot must have made for a good time in your paddock!

Romain Dumas was really impressive - he seemed to be the only one that could hang with the Audi's at any point during the day.

Shame for the Mazda, they ran strong and stayed out of trouble all day...had some sort of mechanical with about 30 minutes left.
